    If you're offering free hosting, what type of value-added service could you offer that's not included in the free hosting? Additional storage? Additional bandwidth? Website templates?

    Do you offer an up-sell to paid hosting and domains?

    A webdesign or graphic design affiliate program could work.

    Stock photography affiliate.

    Things like that.

    You can start with adsense then affiliate. Also you can have banner add, text link sells and some others.

    Umm, sorry to say this but shouldn't you have thought about that BEFORE you started the website?

    Now you are dealing with a situation that you are trying to convert traffic in to money instead of converting targeted traffic in to money. There is a difference.

    Does this mean you now have a list that you can offer products with? If so, offer them anything that has to do with building sites, selling products, etc.

    Create up-sells that will offer a better value then your free hosting provides and in the same time go to www.buysellads dot com and sign up as a seller/publisher, with 500k monthly you can charge a lot of money per impressions

        BSA is good. Just start brainstorming about your profit model. You may try a membership model where they pay monthly for backups or something like that, or create a list and be an affiliate of some products that will help your customers in there businesses. Like list building courses, social media courses, web design courses. I think you have alot of affiliate opportunities outside of adsense/chitika/msn etc... Create the list from all of the visitors, be sure to segment the lists by content to maximize the audience-to-message match.

        Get creative with it.

    you could create some video tutorials and add video ads to them so that each time your user watches the video you are paid on the ads. There are several companies that pay publishers per thousand impressions on video ads. You could just have a 5-10 video series on hosting and domain use for your users and make some decent money with it if you really have that many users per month. And best part, you don't need adsense, the companies are independent of google and adsense!

    If you are keen to keep your website, you should put in correct monetizing tools since you have a huge amount of traffic.

    If you want to earn a one-time amount, you can sell it as Flippa. In order to get a good price, you need to do a good marketing by emphasizing the traffic as the selling point. I think you can easily sell it at a few k range.

    I'd experiment with monetizing pages with AdSense before anything else because someone signed up for free web hosting probably isn't going to start paying for it. They're also not likely to convert on an affiliate offer that requires a purchase.

    If your offer is to give them a free hosting no ads then you can not put adsense or affiliate ads on their websites.

    Alternatively I guest is sell good affiliate products to your subscriber by sending them email.

    You could affiliate with stuff like cloud storage and SEO services.

      500k hits a month can be a life changing amount of traffic if you can get the right shiny objects in view. If you have a free hosting site, then maybe your market needs website or Wordperss themes. Maybe they need Getresponce or Aweber.

      Maybe there are some simple cpa offers that might work. Test and track. A lot of marketers drool for that kind of traffic

    Agreed on the upselling. Become an affiliate of any add-on offers they can use.

    Hi egoldzone,

    500K HITS is not the same as UNIQUE visitors. Well, anyhow it's a lot of traffic and it's a good niche. Build a list and offer advice on related resources both on the list and at the website but ALWAYS take care of your subscribers. Look for recurring income services. People buy from trusted sources.

    HTH,
    Diego

    Since you are offering free hosting, you can add a PPC program to every website a client create. This way you will have a benefit from others' people sites and you will be earning without doing much.
